Fiber Talk with Mike Parr

Replicated Broderers crown detail.
This week we are fortunate to be joined by embroidery artist Mike Parr. Mike shares with us some history of the Parr lineage, background about the Broderers Guild, his experience replicating one of the Broderers crowns, and his career as an needle-arts designer and teacher. It was a real treat to talk with the multi-talented Mike Parr and we hope you enjoy the show. Be sure to view the slide show below to see more of Mike’s work.–Vonna and Gary
